speedtester
A speedtester is a tool or service designed to measure the speed of a process or connection, most commonly the throughput of a computer network. It may take the form of software, a web-based service, a mobile app, or a dedicated hardware device. The primary purpose is to quantify parameters such as data transfer rate, latency, and reliability.
In networking, a speedtester typically reports download speed, upload speed, latency (round-trip time), jitter, and sometimes
Operation: A user initiates a test through a user interface; the tester negotiates with one or more
Variants and use cases: Web-based testers are widely used by consumers to check internet speeds; mobile apps
Limitations: Test results can be affected by device performance, other network activity, Wi‑Fi conditions, and ISP
